Massage is beneficial
October 22, 2008 by melissa39
Thank you to everyone who responded to my post (”I need encouragement”) I am really starting to feel better the last few days. My PT started doing a 15-20 minute scar massage while also manually stretching my entire ankle. She is doing this before and after I do all my intense stretching. I think that this is loosening-up my tight ankle before I do my “held stretches” thus giving me more range. At the end of my session I think that this massage is reducing my swelling. I am walking much better and have less pain. Good Luck to all of you and God Bless!

Sounds great, Melissa! Keep up the good work! I just started PT myself. Best of luck!
hi melissa- feels great that massaging doesnt it. physiotherapist showed my partner how to do it. Funny how suddenly life can change so quickly. A few weeks ago i would never have imagined that a blogging session & ankle massage would have been the highlight of my day. check out “bio oil”. designed to help with scars & nice massaged in.
